Cato-Fair Haven Trail

fall ride

September, 2026 by rwd3038

Really liked this trail. Did the whole out and back (Cato to Fair Haven and visited the park as well). Would recommend fat tires. There are lots of roller coaster mud puddles but kind of fun riding them. This would be a beautiful trail for the fall when leaves turn. Saw lots of turtles, herons, turkey vultures, geese and swamp areas

Lehigh Valley Trail (Monroe County)

Looking forward to riding

September, 2026 by ckkrish

Traveling to Rush on Sep 13 for a day with some free time. I came across this trail on a search for riding opportunities in the area. Looking forward to riding. Thank you for all the reviews.

Lehigh Valley Trail (Monroe County)

Nice ride

August, 2026 by kolwit

Biked the Rush to Mendon section on 8/30/26. Trail surface maintained well. Mileage post/signs are along trail for reference. Interpretive signing at Rochester Junction for those interested in railroading history. Would definitely ride again.

Clarence Pathways

Very good to excellent surface. Excellent way point signs. Middle portion of triangle heading south is now a trail to Greiner rd, making it easier to form a loop with these trails.

West Shore Trail

horrible trail

August, 2026 by snlvr

As others have said, the short paved part is beautiful. The rest is larger rocks surface in many areas and the path is very narrow. I’ve ridden some rough paths before but this one takes the cake. I turned around after one mile and decided that it wasn’t for me.

Cato-Fair Haven Trail

A descent trail for the fat tire bikes

July, 2026 by ibew241

Rode round trip from Cato. Trail was better than I had hoped. Though there were a lot of puddles to go around, I enjoyed the ride. The scenery was beautiful with lots of wetlands and forest scenes. I would recommend the trail for biking as long as you are on a mountain bike or a fat tire bike.

Lehigh Valley Trail - North Branch

Love The Trailhead Garden!!

The trailhead garden at East Henrietta Road is beautiful in the spring, summer and fall! I know because I am one of the volunteers that maintains it! Yay us! Please, let us know how we're doing and contact us at henriettafoundation.com if you would like to help! Also, we would love some interesting photos and/or info to add to the trailhead kiosk! Thanks!

I-390 Bike Path

TOO BUMPY

July, 2026 by ltelle.arkados

I can only think of one other trail that was more bumpy. We rode the streets back and dealt with bumpy sidewalks. The town of Greece should be ashame

Keuka Outlet Trail

great trail

June, 2026 by kpitch55

One of the nicest trails I’ve ridden.Fat tire e bike. parked at Dresden rode to Burkett Mills in Penn Yan Mid morning week day Packed gravel with a one track grassy section Probably 30 others using the trail in the whole 12 miles Mostly hikers fair number of strollers Most of the other bikes were road bikes so it cannot be that rough good view of the water most of the way There were a few spots that would be slippery when wet,but no serious mud only ting I would like is signage at the road crossing

Hojack Trail

This was an enjoyable trail a year ago with a natural grassed trail with flora and fauna along it's length. Now it is a gravel highway with trees and bushes dozed into a unsightely mess. Nothing pleasant about it anymore. I might as well ride on 590.

Trolley Trail (NY)

very fun trail to run winding through where you wouldn’t expect it

April, 2026 by isaactrowbridge

This is a great trail for a more or less level trail run. A decent bit of asphalt but way more gravel trail. Follow the blue blazes and you’ll run parallel to the Auburn trail which is way more fun - single track through the woods. There is a fun red blazed trail as well although it eventually gets cut off by an overgrown swampy area.

Genesee Valley Greenway

Awesome Trail, do not attempt unprepared.

February, 2026 by ajsavitsky

I love this trail. There's a trailhead right down the street from where I go to school up in Rochester, and it makes for a great endurance ride on a late summer or early fall day. Typically, I'll pick up the trail head and ride south down to Wadsworth Junction, where I can then pick up the Lehigh Valley trail. Generally speaking I have nothing bad to say about this trail. It's pretty well maintained, has some beautiful scenery, and a lot of cool history scattered throughout. However, a word of caution: It was the Sunday before Columbus day, I had some time to kill, and I decided I wanted to take the trail down to the Junction point in Piffard (Not the same as Pittsford). At this point in time, I hadn't gone anywhere past Wadsworth junction yet, so I was pretty much riding blind. As I got further south past Wadsworth, the terrain got significantly more sketchy. Trenches, muddy conditions, and A LOT of hedge apples. Not to mention the sheer amount of leaves that had fallen making it hard to plot a line ahead. Against all odds, I made it to my destination, and back in one piece, having only wiped out once. The moral of this story is, while the trail is awesome, do not attempt with out proper preparation. If you're like me, and you like to ride a gravel setup for versatility, be warned that standard gravel tires are probably not enough for the southern part of this trail specifically, and you might want to swap them for something more grippy (e.g. a cx tire) if you plan on going further. Great trail! Ride with caution.
